I'm using it on Fedora hosts just fine and I've got some deployed on CentOS as well with no problem. Before anyone says anything about Fedora - the reason is that I can generally yum upgrade from one release to the next but going through the upgrade from RHEL/CentOS from say 4 to 5 to 6 is a painful experience. I totally abandoned Ubuntu when they went to Unity and the changes they made make it almost impossible to setup freenx servers on those machines. Seems the packages are their but certain dependencies can not be resolved and reports I've read indicated, even AFTER you manually recompile some audio libraries and crap that Ubuntu dropped the ball on, it still is unreliable as all get out. I rely too much on NX for remote desktops with 5 remote locations even when I'm home (and six when I'm on the road). I can't have that. I gave up after a couple of days of trying and ripped Ubuntu off all my systems and replaced it with Fedora. To each his own... I have one host (Fedora 15) which has approximately 3 dozen VM's running on it doing a variety of things like web, mail, mailing lists, databases, remote desktops, DNS (authoritative and caching), Nagios etc, etc. My biggest headache is when a buddy of mine runs one of his database intensive scripts it runs the load average of the host up to over 10 for a couple of minutes but I'll beat on him later. I'd love to hear what issues you had on CentOS. Obviously, if you are running LXC, it must have been CentOS 6. What rev level and kernel? > cheers, > swair Regards, Mike -- Michael H.
